Bayern Munich romp to 7-0 away win

Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich put in a clinical performance to hammer Werder Bremen and extend their unbeaten run in the league to 40 games.

They led 3-0 at half-time thanks to an own goal from Assani Lukimya and strikes from Daniel van Buyten and Franck Ribery.

Mario Mandzukic made it 4-0 before Thomas Muller got on the scoresheet.

Ribery and Mario Gotze added goals in the last 10 minutes to complete the rout.

Bayern, who have not lost in Pep Guardiola's 15 league matches in charge, went seven points top of the table for three hours at least, with second-placed Bayer Leverkusen playing Borussia Dortmund, in third, later on Saturday.

They were without in-form Arjen Robben, who was ruled out for six weeks with a knee injury, but it did not hinder their attacking prowess.
